ManageEngine Endpoint Central

Product Summary

ManageEngine Endpoint Central is a cloud-based unified endpoint management solution that allows organizations to monitor, manage, secure, and remotely troubleshoot various endpoints. This software enables managed service providers (MSPs) to automate numerous IT tasks. 

Use Cases

  • Endpoint management:
    Allows users to manage multiple endpoints from a single console and troubleshoot any issues.
  • Patch and software management:
    Deploy software and patches to endpoints and servers and manage software licensing. Administrators can also block unauthorized software and manage permissions.
  • Remote access:
    It allows users to monitor endpoints remotely and access the file manager, task manager, registry, and other tools.

Shortcomings

  • High system resource usage:
    This service requires a large amount of resource consumption on the device that’s being managed, which can cause performance issues.
  • Scalability:
    When the number of endpoints and the complexity of the IT environment increases, the solution can struggle to perform and may become difficult to manage.
  • Customer support:
    Some users have mentioned having difficulty getting support for complex issues and that the support team is often slow to respond or follow up.
  • Reporting:
    Some users struggle to customize reports. Pulling or presenting specific data in the user’s desired format can also be challenging.

NinjaOne vs. ManageEngine FAQs

NinjaOne is an endpoint management solution for MSPs and IT professionals looking for an all-in-one tool. It offers remote monitoring and management, patch management, automation, and built-in cloud backup, eliminating the need for multiple disjointed tools.

While ManageEngine offers similar functionalities through a suite of separate products (like Endpoint Central and RMM Central), NinjaOne seamlessly integrates these features within a single, intuitive console. This makes NinjaOne easier to learn, navigate, and manage, especially for busy IT teams juggling multiple tasks.

Yes, ManageEngine offers integrations. However, they focus more on connecting with other ManageEngine products, creating a unified environment to keep their users within the ecosystem. This can be a plus if you mainly use ManageEngine tools. But, if you rely on other software already, the limited integrations with external apps might be restrictive.

ManageEngine offers reporting capabilities but needs improvement in its customization aspect, making it challenging to tailor reports to specific needs or drill down into granular details.

ManageEngine users expressed some concerns about the difficulty of getting support for complex issues and the slow response time. Meanwhile, NinjaOne is rated #1 for support and service based on a third-party survey of 380+ MSPs.

Additionally, NinjaOne covers all support channels, including free and unlimited onboarding and training. The platform also has a dedicated 24/7 team, which makes it a reliable choice for MSPs seeking exceptional customer support.
